The leaves are oval/roundish, they are smooth and waxy, with smooth edges. The leaves grown in a compound formation, and it appears that the new leaves grow on top of the old leaves, making it appear to almost be a flower. There are also large patches of whitish/light brown tendrils. The tendrils themselves feel soft to the touch and smell like a mix between citrus and mint. The branches are thin and smooth. This plant was cultivated and planted for decoration, so I'm pretty sure it isn't native.
